The four routes of the Upper Swabian Baroque Route, with its trademark road sign depicting a yellow cherub on a green background, are a pleasure for the senses. Grandiose ceiling art, opulent decorations, lively colours, rosy-cheeked saints, light-flooded cupolas adorned with jubilant angels, snow-white stucco and gold that is almost dazzling to the eye and ceiling frescos that transport you to the realms of the Greek gods: the Upper Swabian Baroque Route is a true gateway to the Baroque in all its lavish splendour.

A Baroque style unique to this region

A wealth of magnificent Baroque castles, palaces, abbeys and churches adorn the route from the Swabian Alb and the Allgäu Alps between the Danube and Lake Constance. The elaborate architecture and décor on display here is reason enough to visit. Some castles are still occupied by the aristocracy to this day whilst others are open to visitors as grand museums that host temporary exhibitions and other events. No other region is as steeped in the Baroque as Upper Swabia and Mother Nature herself has not been unkind: together the Baroque buildings and lightly hilled landscape are a masterpiece.

A mirror of Upper Swabian culture

As you travel along the Upper Swabian Baroque Route, the region's living traditions such as the Palm Procession, Corpus Christi Procession, Blutritt Procession, open-air theatre, the Swabian Alemannic Carnival (Fasnacht) and music events will be on display again and again. You can also sample the delicacies of the 17th and 18th centuries at a Baroque feast or even take part in a medieval banquet. It's an indescribable yet truly unforgettable experience.
